Peace Lily "Closet Plant" Myth: Needs Bright Light

Denise's funeral peace lily (Nov 2010) kept in near-darkness ("closet plant" myth). Went droopy 2 weeks ago. Repotted larger, overwatered, moved to warmer spot, cut back half. Foliage recovered but yellow/brown persists.

Critical Corrections

Peace lilies are NOT closet plants. No plant survives where hand makes no shadow.

1. Move to bright, sunny spot—18 inches from window.
2. Never leave water in saucer. Empty immediately after watering.
3. Open blinds/drapes.
4. Dry well between waterings.

Recovery should follow. The "closet plant" label is marketing, not botany.
